Well. I've also been known to be a dumb son of a bitch.
[But, more thoughtfully,]
Now... I know there's things I definitely can't do on my own. Strategy, for one. And other things I fall short on, I've gotten help - controlling my temper, hand-to-hand combat - and gotten stronger because of it.
I've still got my pride, but just pride on its own doesn't get results.
Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with having pride. The opposite, really... I get annoyed when people are too negative about themselves. And it's true that you can't get stronger if you don't acknowledge you have weaknesses.
I don't think support is just about compensating for weaknesses, though. Two strong people is better than one, right...?
